| Great equipt stand for under $500??? Salamander! They have wide range of racks and many can be configured to suite your needs. I had a Twin 40 and a few years later I added a couple new pieces of gear. The parts were ordered and the twin 40 became a triple 40.https://www.salamanderd... | |

| Tube pre amp Not long ago I purchased at few tubes from Upscale Audio so now half the Web sites I visit have advertising banners from Upscale. Anyway they are really pushing the trade in's, a few pretty nice pre-amps. Their site may be worth a visit. | |
| Why aren't new vacuum tubes as good as old ones? Yes but current tube production is not critical to the communications business, like in the past. Tube makers could do better but where is the motivation. Product longevity does not keep the line moving. | |

They were critical and manufacturer's had to make quality product for the military, government and.. We are the hobby market and reall... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Stereophile I seem to always agree with Stevecham. "Fortunately, Audiogon, Steve Hoffman, Analog Planet, Vinyl Engine and others have replaced my magazine interest in written commentary, opinion, specs and general entertainment (when it's kept civil) about ... | |

| Phono stage can minimize tics and pops on vinyl When I got back to vinyl I started with prepackaged deal, TT, inexpensive phono stage and cartridge. Pretty easy to get started but not very rewarding. The surface noise almost made me sell the rig and stick with digital. Yet, I hung in there an... | |

| Recommended cork platter for my SL 1200 GR Technics TT Static electricity is an issue here in the dry desert. I use a spray bottle of Demonized Water for cleaning LP's and it seems to keep the static in check. | |
| Musical Fidelity A308 Int: is it worth a service call? I had a Musical Fidelity DAC 21cr i think. The right channel went out. I called the authorized repair facility for North America, in Montreal, Canada. The person I talked to did speak english very well and I don't speak french. What little com... | |
| New Vinyl It's not the best out there but it also won't cost an arm and a leg either. The Allman Brothers Live at The Fillmore East on MFSL. I've had issues with MFSL's product in the past, then when I think back to 1980, the quality of new vinyl is much b... | |
| Please evaluate my system... Another cartridge, not that the one you are using is bad but a different prospective is always entertaining. | |
